Thank you. Your summary was perfect of how the mechanism worked, so I'm glad that came through.
In terms of recommendations.... Again, I work at Global Affairs Canada. I am mandated to look for foreign interference. We don't look at the domestic environment, except when triggered for election periods.
In terms of what a mechanism could look like in Canada, I would leave others to reflect upon that, but this committee has heard from a lot of witnesses. I think there is a combination of.... You've heard from academics, researchers and others who have capabilities to monitor. A lot of countries are asking the questions, “What are all of the layers of research that are required?” and “Is there a role for government?”, and are considering those roles and what they should be.
However, as it is defined for foreign affairs, that is not the information environment that we should or would be looking at on a constant basis.
